docs: runtime spec for React, Next.js, and Astro - #16
Conversation
One config drives translation and routing: locale detection and redirects, cookie, provider, t()/t.rich with ICU via Intl, source-locale fallback, switcher, Link, <html lang dir>, hreflang, static params. Entry points rosetta-i18n/react, /next, /astro over an internal zero-dep core.

Review comments at @docs/spec-runtime.md:
- Around line 440-443: Update the runtime spec’s Astro i18n configuration
guidance to omit prefixDefaultLocale when routing is set to manual, and state
that Rosetta owns the default-locale prefix strategy.
- Around line 370-371: The spec incorrectly states that Proxy replaces the
`prefix-always` unprefixed-path redirect when detection is enabled. Update the
`prefix-always` guidance to account for static redirects running before Proxy:
generate the redirect only when detection is off, or handle both locale
decisions in `rosettaProxy`.
- Around line 50-53: Clarify the “At most one redirect, once” rule in the
runtime spec: the proxy has no persistent marker to track prior redirects, so
define the limit as per unprefixed request and state that repeated qualifying
requests may each redirect; alternatively, specify a persistent marker and when
the proxy sets it.
- Around line 184-189: Update the runtime fallback description to specify
catalog merge order as target locale, base language, then source locale. Clarify
that plural-category selection uses the locale that supplied the message, while
number and date formatting continue to use the requested locale.
- Line 378: Align the Next.js example’s re-export with the packaging table’s
intended API: document `proxy` as an alias for `createProxy`, or update the
example to re-export `createProxy`, so both entries describe the same available
export.

This is the runtime spec, with its decisions settled; there's no code in this PR. It covers the part of internationalization Rosetta doesn't handle yet: rendering and routing.
Main idea:
.rosetta/config.jsondrives both translation and routing. The locale list lives in one place. From it, the runtime handles:Accept-Language→ default) and redirecting;t()/t.rich()with ICU formatting via the built-inIntlAPIs;<html lang dir>,hreflangtags, and static params for every locale.Performance first (§2). Every localized page can be prerendered, and server-rendered text sends no catalog to the browser. With detection off, routing is static
rewrites/redirectsand no middleware runs. Each invariant has a CI check (§10).New entry points:
